On the contrary, it's pretty common these days to have around 5, especially for anyone with around 15 years service or more. I think I see a diamond jubilee medal, the LS&GCM, a GSM, and the Iraq campaign medal. Not sure on the 5th, the close up is grainy. I'd guess it's probably the ACSM.
I left in 2012 and I have 6... army colleagues might scoff at being impressed with 5, it's extremely common for them to have 8 to 10 gongs after 15-20 years service.
